My spouse and I visited Nicole’s Table on 12/23/2022 and were impressed with the stunning views and friendly atmosphere from the minute we walked in. We were greeted with an offer for some passion fruit juice or a cold glass of water upon arrival and then were able to relax for a bit and enjoy the beautiful patio as we waited for the rest of the participants to arrive. It was evident from the start of our Cooking with Rum Class that Nicole is an extremely talented chef and that she was going to make our day fun and engaging. We were able to enjoy our low key instruction with another couple and were fortunate enough to have an extended, multi-generational family (some who were from Antigua and still lived there) also join the class. As we all tagged team and made our way through our recipes with Nicole and her assistant Iana we snacked on Nicole’s Tostones with a yummy dip and then got to a point where our group was able to continue to join in with some of the finishing touches on our meal or take Nicole’s husband, Adam, up on an offer to do a rum tasting. We choose the rum tasting and it did not disappoint. Adam is knowledgeable and passionate about rum and the island of Antigua. He cleverly mixed in facts, along with stories to make the rum tasting entertaining. After the rum tasting our food was finished and we were treated with a whole table full of delicious food on the patio — Sweet Potato Soup with Rum, Rum and Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs with Onion Jam, Red Beans and Rice, Rainbow Garden Salad, Iana’s Pumpkin Fritters…and of course, Nicole’s Butter Rum Cake! My mouth is watering for all of these again as I type this. We would highly recommend this to anyone, but particularly to those who enjoy cooking and want to enjoy an experience unique to the island of Antigua.

What a fun day! Nicole's table is in a beautiful home located up a secluded drive. We were happily greeted upon arrival and offered a delicious passion fruit juice to drink. Two other couples joined us and we got to know them as Nicole and her assistant Iana got everything ready. At 11am, Nicole began explaining the origins of jerk cooking and all the spices we were going to be using. We all took turns participating in creating the delicious meal. We made fried plantains and yucca with pineapple salsa and a zesty, creamy dip. Of course there was jerk chicken which was marinated in a flavorful concoction that just tasted amazing. We also made rice and beans and pumpkin fritters. We also had a yummy salad, and the dessert we prepared were these wonderful coconut custard tarts. After the knives were put away, she offered us some delectable rum punch to drink with our lunch that we enjoyed outside on the gorgeous veranda. It was an outstanding experience that I would highly recommend to all! Thanks Nicole and Iana!

The experience was top notch. The home setting was beautiful. Nicole's family and Staff was such a pleasure. They make you feel like you're family or long time friends. The atmosphere is so inviting. I made a mistake and wasn't able to attend my original appointment date but they were so accommodating and made it possible for me to reschedule. I was able to make pumpkin fritters, plantain chips with dip, buffalo shrimp tacos with cabbage slaw, mango salsa, blackened salmon, rice and peas, and coconut tarts from scratch. I was amazed that I did all of that in 4 hrs while enjoying good ol' rum punch. Nicole and Anya made the teaching process easy to follow. With a beautiful view, good music, great vibes, and amazing food, you truly cannot complain. I will definitely be back and bring family/friends to enjoy this wonderful experience.

Initially, I booked the cooking with rum class, recognizing that, as a solo participant, I might need to be reassigned to another class, as outlined in the booking instructions. Adam and Nicole seamlessly accommodated me in the curry class, and I was thrilled to have adjusted my planned excursion itinerary to participate. The experience was outstanding! Nicole demonstrated remarkable chef teaching skills, providing detailed explanations, suggesting alternative ingredients based on our regional considerations, and instructing us on how to be amazing home (or sou-chefs)! I intend to recreate the curry menu at home shortly. I highly recommend booking without hesitation, as you will not regret the experience! P.S. our group was the best curry class to do it 😊

Great food, great people, great experience! Nicole, Adam, Petal, Zoey......treated us better than family. Super fun. Met great folks from Iowa. Would HIGHLY recommend! A+++ Returned 3 years later, we were SO impressed that we took the same class again, AND stayed at their perfect/wonderful BNB for 9 days. Super friendly folks who treat you like family! Nicole's class is fun and delicious, looking forward to repeating the menu at home in Indy, including the fresh Rum Punch! Adam knows his rum, and has a great sense of humor. Their BNB is perfect for a couple, 10 star rating in my book. Highly HIGHLY recommend both the cooking classes and their BNB.

Such a fun day. Highlight of the trip for me. The experience takes place at Nicole's home which is an experience itself with breathtaking views. We had our family group of 6 and cooked with 2 other women who joined the class. A group of 8 seemed like the perfect size. Nicole guides you and is there for support but doesn't breath over your shoulder. It's very easy going. She serves you her excellent homemade Rum punch which was a highlight for our group. We made jerk chicken and sides. I enjoyed the chicken and coconut tart the most. Highly recommend the class. If you are coming for a cruise excursion, Nicole will make sure you're done in time to catch your ride.
